Miserable Lie
So goodbye
Please stay with your own kind
And I'll stay with mine
There's something against us
So goodbye
I know I need hardly say
How much I love your casual way
But please put your tongue away
A little higher and we're well away
The dark nights are drawing in
And your humour is as black as them
I look at yours, you laugh at mine
And love is just a miserable lie
You have destroyed my flower like life
Not once, twice
You have corrupt my innocent mind
Not once, twice
I know the wind swept mystical air
It means: I'd like to see your underwear
I recognise that mystical air
It means: I'd like to seize your underwear
What do we get for our trouble and pain?
Just a rented room in Whalley Range
What do we get for our trouble and pain?
...Whalley Range!
Into the depths of the criminal world
I followed her...
I need advice, I need advice
I need advice, I need advice
Nobody ever looks at me twice
Nobody ever looks at me twice
I'm just a country-mile behind
The world
I'm just a country-mile behind
The whole world
Oh oh, oh...
I'm just a country-mile behind
The world
I'm just a country-mile behind
The whole world
Oh oh, oh...
Take me when you go
Oh oh, oh...
Take me when you go
Oh oh, oh...
I need advice, I need advice
